What have we here?
Thought I would post a picture of a display motor a friend has.
Lots of odd bits on this one including a cast aluminium German sump. More photos and information available if interested and if I can get them to upload. |

Re: What have we here?
Looks like they have a pulley driven off the front of the crank.

Re: What have we here?
Possibly. The pulleys on the pumps would have to be enclosed. I don't see how the top of such a belt drive would work. There appear to be no openings for the belt to exit the water pump housings.

Re: What have we here?
I believe this engine is just a display piece of odd flathead parts
The pumps have pulleys the blue color blends them in That Eddie Fairbairn intake is not that old he only made a few I have a brand new unmachined one & the have no provision for generator mount hence no belt installed Cheers Tony |

Re: What have we here?
OK. Now that you mention it, I can barely make out the pulley on the right pump. I think you're right about the "display piece" aspect of it. I would imagine that the smaller tube on the water pumps are to feed the exhaust manifolds.

Re: What have we here?
I must admit, I've always hated the "valve covers" . . . never made any sense to me to cover up the heads and in a goofy way make the engine look like something else. I kind of put them in the same category as "fake blower injector scoops" that guys had sticking out of their muscle car hoods to look like a Hilborn or Enderle fuel injector. Whew - glad I got that off my chest!

Otherwise it's just an aesthetic issue.
